Sleeper ECS move yesterday afternoon.Andrew Triggs

The Sleeper ECS move was for positioning purposes for the Reading blockade this weekend, spoke to Dave Coles who informed me if it had run as booked normal timings there would have been no way of getting it from Oxford to OOC via Chiltern as no GWR crews have route knowledge. By Andrew Triggs.

This railtour was named after one of the follies to be found in Barwick Park about a mile as the crow flies from Yeovil Junction station. Jack is a figure standing on top of a tower which itself stands on an ornamental arch. Jack the Treacle Eater was one of four follies built to give the estate labourers work during a time of depression in the 1820's. The statue could be seen to the right from trains leaving Yeovil Junction heading west, however tree growth unfortunately blocks that view. ​https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barwick,_Somerset
